Meagan Good gushed over her marriage to Jonathan Majors, saying it’s “me and him against the world.” The couple’s recent wedding has become one of Hollywood’s most talked-about relationships of the year.
The 43-year-old actress recently tied the knot with the 35-year-old former MCU actor and Meagan says Jonathan is her “person” and added: “no matter what I’m riding with you [until] the wheels fall off.” Their relationship began amid considerable public scrutiny following Majors’ legal troubles.
“It’s immense what it already is. When two people come together, they make the same choice and the same commitment. And there’s just something really beautiful about [it],” Meagan said, speaking to PEOPLE. This interview marks their first major public discussion about their marriage since their intimate ceremony attended by close friends and family.
“I already felt like I had my person, I know it’s me and him against the world, whatever it may be. And I enjoy him so much. Their relationship has withstood significant public attention, with many fans expressing both support and concern on social media.
“I learned so much from him. But I think being husband and wife, you take on a different kind of partnership. And I think that while the commitment might already be there, it’s a different type of commitment because it’s lifelong, no matter what I’m riding with you [until] the wheels fall off.” The couple has been open about their dedication to making their marriage work despite external pressures.
Majors is on a mission to launch a career comeback after losing out on work opportunities and endorsements due to his legal issues, which include being found guilty of two counts of assault and harassment against a former girlfriend in December 2023. The actor, who was previously cast as Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, saw his career trajectory dramatically altered following these convictions.
“Marriage is also a commitment to being our best selves,” Good insisted. The actress has been vocal about personal growth throughout her career, which spans more than two decades in the entertainment industry.
She added that there can always be challenges with relationships, whether “it’s your children or your parents or your siblings,” and that in “some way, shape or form, you’re a part of each other, you grew up somewhere within the same atmosphere or experience.” Their commitment to working through these challenges has been evident in their public appearances together.
“But when you choose someone who has grown up in a different place, has different siblings, a different life experience, you guys may be very similar, but you also might be very different,” she said. The couple has embraced these differences as strengths in their relationship.
“The choice to love that person in all seasons, which as most of us know, it goes up and down and all around,” Good said. “But the choice to love that person is learning what is [as] close to how God loves us as possible. It’s an unconditional love where there are no conditions.” Good’s references to faith reflect her longstanding spiritual beliefs, which have been a central part of her public persona.
“But beyond that, what is challenging you to understand is how loved you are, what you deserve, and how much God loves you,” Good explained, after clarifying that she won’t deal with “something crazy.” Her comments highlight the boundaries she maintains even within her commitment to unconditional love.
“There’s a reflection of that love in marriage because of the level of commitment,” she said. Both Good and Majors have spoken about the importance of commitment in building a lasting relationship.
Megan was previously married to pastor DeVon Franklin, from 2012 until 2022, while Jonathan has an 11-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. Their blended family situation brings both challenges and rewards as they build their life together.
The couple’s wedding, which took place in a private ceremony, featured elements that honored both their individual journeys and their shared future, according to sources close to the couple. Friends describe their relationship as being built on mutual respect and understanding, despite the public challenges they’ve faced.
As they navigate the early stages of marriage, Good continues to balance her thriving acting career with her personal life, having recently completed work on several film projects. Majors, meanwhile, is reportedly focusing on rebuilding his career through various opportunities in the industry.
